Nice in the garden, 22.7c the max, still just managed to get 2 loads of washing dry on the line and the lawn mown, which is about as exciting as I needed after a 10k run this morning... slowly getting some fitness back.

Those cirrus type clouds turned orange a bit here but they faded away to clear skies this evening.   I remember had a very strong orange reflection to our living room that made inside all orangy light in Nicosia when the sun setting and shone below the dark clouds above us to become very bright orange.  Had a few in this area but not the scale I remember so well back in Nicosia.

Today was warm 22C and 4.5C overrnight low and the conservatory was 13.6c to 31.8C.  The 30's still fighting on to continue maybe will end this week or so.   Not that cool tonight as the 850's are higher than last night.

Absolutely pathetic!!😡

Why upset? it good to keep heating off a bit longer.  Clear here not cold as last night sun now rose above the houses roof to shine here.

Because I would much rather be getting on with autumn, rather than being stuck in summer (two months ago when it actually was summer though, it would have been a completely different story). It is important to remember that everyone's tastes as regards to their preferred weather is always different for each person, so it's not everyone who is going to share your preferences for that. I do fully accept that you like to see it being warm just just now and that is fine by me, but that is not how I prefer it to be now.

Anyway, last night's minimum temperature according to the 06z SYNOP/BUFR data was 15.97°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and 15.93°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank. The temperature has dropped a little bit from those figures, so the actual minimum temperature is likely to be slightly below those given figures, but will be confirmed by the 09z data when that comes through just after 10am BST.

At the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, the highest minimum temperature on record in October is currently 15.8°C as set on 1 October 1985. As the temperature has at dropped to at least 15.65°C at that particular station, last night isn't quite going to go down as our warmest October night on record although we did get very close to that, and it is very likely that a new highest minimum temperature date record will be set as the old date record for 4 October stood at only 13.0°C (for 5 October, that record even goes as low as 12.6°C.

Far too many high temperatures are being broken these days and from a climate change perspective, that is very concerning indeed.

Back on topic though, it's an overcast and fairly windy morning here in Edinburgh, but with nothing really happening apart from that as per usual for here.

Taken today: 

And more of note light to moderate rain overnight. Still spitting.

More please.
